Dick Thompson Concern Quotations

Bird flu is a disease among animals; it's very difficult for this virus to move from poultry into humans. Our concern is that it will change in a way that will allow it to easily move between humans, and that will trigger a pandemic.

The widespread concern may be bad communication on our part. Millions of animals have been infected and very rarely have humans been infected,

There is definitely concern about Egypt. In a relatively short period of time we have what is really a large number of cases.

There seems to be a heightened sense of concern about an extraordinarily rare disease. It is very, very, very difficult for humans to acquire, even with direct exposure.
